For a second year in a row I had a wonderful high energy portrait session with Miss B. The photoshoot was non-stop fun and B has countless facial expressions that simply must be captured in pictures!
It has been a very busy summer and I really haven't been able to take the time to do the regular posts on the site that I would normally do. While preparing the newsletter that goes out today (click to subscribe to the newsletter) I knew that I really wanted to show off some of work I've been doing recently, but there was just too much to show and to talk about it all in one email. So instead I created a collage with some of my favorite images from the last few months. Here are all of those images and you can click on each one to see them in their full glory!
It's never too early to book a fall portrait session for your family, especially when fall in Calgary is just around the corner! I know it's only just the beginning of September, but fall can land in Calgary anytime in mid-September and the fall colors may only last until mid-October. Last year we had a glorious fall and the fall colours lasted well into November, but you never know if that's going to happen again this year or not! So far it looks like we are in fact having another late summer in Calgary, but you'd be better off safe than sorry, so book your family fall portrait sitting now! I have only a limited number of weekend sessions available in the next few weeks, so please don't wait to call. If you have a specific time or location that you'd like to meet please feel free to ask. Note that I am a custom portrait photographer and I do everything I can to ensure that every photography session is perfect. One way that I do that is by only booking one portrait session in the morning and one session in the afternoon on available weekend dates. I don't cram sessions in one after the other, and therefore I only have a limited number of fall portrait sessions available this year... Call me now at 403-615-3708 to schedule your Calgary Fall Portrait Photography Session.
I had a fantastic family portrait session at The Ranche in Fish Creek Park with the Graham family. We had a beautiful day out and there were lots of laughs by everyone in the group! We wandered around the park and found lots of fun spots to use. Everyone had a great attitude and they were all very helpful and willing to try anything. The Ranche is a very popular destination for Calgary Portrait Photographers because of the wide variety of places to shoot. We made use of the gardens and pathways, an old bridge, a park bench, and I even convinced the family to sit in the long grasses in the field. I knew that the glowing green grass would provide a wonderful background in the bright sunlight and I was excited when they agreed to do it! I think the images speak for themselves, but I'd love to hear your thoughts?? The summer portrait season is in full swing and I still have a few openings at the end of August. Call soon to book.... The fall portrait season is coming to Calgary sooner than we'd like to imagine!
Readers of my blog may remember that I did a creative photo session with Calgary based Indie Pop and Rock band Bellewether a few months ago... Well the images have finally been put to use! There are photos of the band on their website, Facebook, and MySpace pages, and they also used one of the creative portraits on the cover of the album. I was excited to learn that they basically used the image as-is, without making any major changes to it after I provided it to them! The Album Release Party is this Saturday night: Date: Saturday August 6, 2011 (Doors open at 07:00) Location: Quality Hotel Airport, 4804 Edmonton Trail N.E., Calgary, AB, T2E 3V8 You can buy tickets in advance at the Bellewether website, or try to get lucky and get them at the door on Saturday. You can see more of the images from my portrait session with the band at the following article: Bellewether Album Cover Shoot
